You're talking about the two bassreflex ports?

Duct length is 21 cm, inner ø 10,5 cm (or 8 1/4" and 4 1/8" in inches).

The baffles are just black.

For the RAL colours, no one has come up with exact numbers for the utility cabs so far, at least over the last 3 years. I still have a second pair of enclosures painted in light grey and I believe this to be the original factory colour. According to member 3dbdown they used to call it 'battleship grey' at JBL ;) that was the best description so far, mentioned by someone who actually worked there.

I don't bother to find an exact match anymore because I'd like to get mine more livingroom-friendly veneered (sooner or later :rolleyes:). I'm working on that.

There are at least two more members that I know of, invstbiker and nrwjbl who have these grey 4343's too – but probably everyone who has touched up or repainted their grey monitors ( 4310 - 4350 ) would be better qualified to chime in here and make suggestions.
